    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hello everyone.

Im new to the forums so not sure where to post this.

 

Got a tv and washer from perfect home nearly 3yrs ago now.

 

In October 2011 my TV stopped working.

 

I went into store told them the problem and was told they would come and collect it to have it repaired.

 

After numerous phone calls to them TV was finally picked up for repair 6 weeks after it stopped working.

 

I then was told I had to carry on paying my account which I did.

 

They finally brought TV back at the end of Jan 2012 to find they had smashed the screen in transit.

They just left it with me saying my problem but they still wanted the payments of me.

 

After numerous arguments and buying another TV I went to FOS.

 

After perfect home was contacted by the FOS they contacted me to offer a replacement.

 

I accepted offer but few months down the line again the TV has stopped working.

I have now refused to pay them another penny for the tv as I went so long without one,

had to buy a new one and now left with another that don't work.

 

I have tryed paying for washer still but they are refusing payments saying they want the full amount.

 

I am getting about 20 calls of them aday +2 home visits all that for 2 week non payment!!!

 

Can anyone give me some advice on this matter I am so stressed out at the moment recently had a baby and suffering with pnd so situation really not helping.

 

Thank you in advance.

you should not be paying for something on HP THAT DOES NOT WORK ..

 

as for the washer, pay what you owe PCW/PCM by your internet banking site

 

they cannot refuse it that way.

 

time t go back to the FOS me thinks.

Thankyou for reply.

 

The only problem if I pay them for washer that way is they have told me any money recieved would be put towards the arrears first including charges

I will get evey week for still been in arrears for the TV.

 

Also the service cover on washer will remain void until the whole account is up to date

but I still have to pay for it every week.

 

The TV is payed off fully in January

 

I just don't really want to pay another £400 plus to them for a broken TV.

 

Im a little wary of them saying they will collect to fix because if it takes as long as last time

they will still be wanting payment for it and when the agreement is over I don't think I will get me TV back.

you REALLY need to read some threads in this forum on perfect homes...

and their antics

PENALY charges are unlawful...get them back reclaim them.

 

your TV and Washer are cover by SOGA.

http://www.oft.gov.uk/business-advice/treating-customers-fairly/sogahome/forcustomers

 

you DONT need ANY extra service cover on either - these are HIRE PURCHASE agreements too.

 

and if you got their 'compulsory' insurance too, get that all back as well.

Spoken to them again yesterday same story want full payment. I explained I am not paying anymore for faulty item but will gladly pay for washer. They told me they need full payment before they can order a repair on tv.

 

Not sure what to do as don't want to pay for broken TV and even if they do repair it I proberly won't see it again. Even if I return it I still have to pay because I didn't take out service cover.

 

They have also started making up lies saying I haven't reported any faults so I have told them not to phone me anymore I want everything in writing.

treat them as a credit card claim on PPI/PENALTY charges.

 

but 2 sep claims

 

one for OSC

 

one for PENALTY charges.

 

This second spreadsheet is a compound interest calculator and can be used both for PPI claims and Charges Reclaims on Revolving Credit Accounts such as credit cards. Compound interest is not an award that foslink3.gif will give in respect of PPI claims but it can be used in PPI cases that are pursued through the courts. It is the standard sheet that is also used for charges reclaims both on credit cards and loan accounts where interest in restitutionlink3.gif is claimed.
